If the Eagles aren't successful, here's what could hold them back.
The Eagles are expected to be good. But if Nick Sirianni or Jalen Hurts struggles, they might not be that good.Howie RosemanEven though the Eagles have enough talent to compete for a Super Bowl, there are a few reasons why they could finish as one of the league’s most disappointing teams this season.Even though he has the most regular-season wins by an Eagles coach during his first three seasons, made the playoffs each year and took them to the Super Bowl in 2022, he is on the hot seat.
Even though Sirianni received public support from most of his players after last season, it doesn’t mean that some aren’t skeptical of him. And the ones who do believe in him could change their minds if they start with a bad record. Last season, he was not as accurate and didn’t make as many impressive throws. Hurts was an MVP candidate through the first 11 weeks because he led the Eagles to a 10-1 record, but he struggled with consistency. He made up for bad plays by making great plays at the end of games. Those late-game heroics ended during the collapse.While only playing 42% of the defensive snaps in 2023, Huff finished with a career-high 10 sacks.
The best pass rushers get better at the end of the season. No matter how many snaps they play, they seem to get better. Reddick was a dominant force the last two seasons, especially during their Super Bowl run. He finished with eight sacks that December and finished with 3.5 sacks during the playoffs.
